The Friends of the Professional Car Society is the official website of the Professional Car Society, Inc. (Society). Our membership is primarily dues paying members of the Society; however, it is not a requirement that you belong to the Society to participate in our website.
The professional car is loosely defined as a custom bodied vehicle based on passenger car styling and used in the funeral, rescue, or livery services. Such vehicles may be hearses, flower cars, service cars, ambulances, limousines, or cars which are specially built to combine two or more of these different functions-combination hearse-ambulances, sedan-ambulances, or invalid coaches.
The Society was founded in 1976 to encourage the preservation of such vehicles. At that time, many of these vehicles had no established classes in multi-marquee antique car organizations. The Society's growth since that time has helped to establish the position of the professional car in more clubs and shows, and has served to preserve many of these vehicles for future collectors to restore and enjoy.

I'm sure this is not really a Corvair Police car. Spent the day with my chamber group touring Hillsborough Community College technical center. I did strike up a conversation about loaning them my Lifeliner to strip it down and a new paint job. We're working out the details but think this may be too much for them.

I did and it looks great but sure would love to address the bottom of the doors on the passenger side. The cost just got to be too much after he cut the bottom of the doors off and had to re-build them so sort of run out of cash for the other side. He did apply a special compound which has done a remarkable job.

Do not under estimate that the corvair was a cruiser,back when VW first introduced the rabbit several Ontario town forces got and used them for front line cruisers,did not go over well,especially when stopped by an officer driving one and I asked "whats up Doc" .

Of interest to this group may be that I know a Funeral Director who went to the old Bowman FH in Marshall, NC for business reasons in the late 60's... and he said Dedrick Bowman had a Corvair station wagon for an ambulance...
